ACPO said that the "urgency of the issue" was such that regional forces should review their witness protection schemes to ensure that victims of "honour" crimes are included - even if they do not want to prosecute those responsible.

A format was agreed with SSS Management Services and ACPO representative Ken Meanwell that allows the group to manage activations by only providing officers with evidence of genuine incidents using audio confirmation of the incident via the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).

ACPO and NDORS have established a UK National Model Programme which the successful service provider(s) must deliver and conform to at all times, ensuring that the Schemes operated on behalf of all Police Forces of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland conform to one common standard.
